The dog days, season of the year a
bout which considerable Is said, and of
which there are many superstitions
over which timid people tremble, will
last until the Goth of August, or 35
days. The rising and setting of "Sir-
ius," or the dog star. with the sun, has
been universally regarded as the cause
of the excessive heat that prevails gen.
orally at this particular season. The
poor dogs, that are made To bear the in
fanny of the source of our discomfort,
are, perhaps, allied in some manner to
the extreme heat of the interval, but
they, as well rs human beings, share
alike the Affections which are at this
season common. Dogs at this season are
supposed to be more susceptible to rab-
idness than at any other time, although
there is no perceptible difference be-
tween the present condition of the sun
and what il will he when the season
commences.

Strategic Rat killing.

To attempt TO catch rats by traps or
by poisoning them suddenly will fail,
said an old ratcatcher recently to q re.
porter for the Mail and Express. odd
rats know too much, aud can be caught
only by kindness. To destroy them
give them good meal every day. Do
not put any poison In the food, but
simply prepare dish for them daily, as
u free lunch. composed OF corn meal,
molstened with milk, into which one
egg with little salt TO season has been
beaten. At first they may not touch 1t,
but keep il before them making it fresh
every day. They will soon try little.
and if not luxurious their suspicious
will be allayed. In week or ten days
they will expect it and every rat on the
place will be at the appointed spot tor
the treat. Give plenty of 1t so as to IN
duce all the rats in the neighborhood to
join in. DO not be in hurry TO poison
them. IL they eat all the food give
them larger portion next time. AS
soon as they have thrown off all suspic-
ion get some phosphorus paste or other
rat poison, mix 1t with the FOOD and be
sure to give them enough aud some
thing to spare so rs to induce all to eat.
They will either be killed or become so
suspicious of all food that not rat
will remain.

Thoughts on Greatness.

DE odder night, in de club library, |
heard member of the club grievin'
cause he wasn't a great man. said the
president of the Lime Kiln Club, as the
hall grew quiet. 1t am material dat we
should all want to git ahead. 1t am
not unreasonable in any man to want
to he on top of de heap. Preachers,
poets, editors an lecturers all incour-
age us to dig long an strive to carve
our names on de cupalow of de temple
of fame. An yet what holler mock
cry tame am Oar was Shakespeare.
He had de toofache same as a common
man. lie had his blue days same as de
poorest white. De rain poured down
on him same as on Samuel Shin-he fell
in de mud same as Elder Toots-his
grocer wanted cash same as mine. Oar
was Byron, de poet. His name am as
high as de steeples, an yet his corns
ached same as Waydown Bebee's-
butcher carts run him down same as
Trustee Pullback-street kyar DRYERS
rang de bell on him same as on 'Squar
Williams. Oar was Queen Elizabeth.
She had big palace, heap oh walters
and lots of cloze, but she had big feet,
got baldheaded, and couldn't see any
more of Niagary Falls for five dollars
dan my ole woman did for two shillns.
Greatness may bring store cloze, but
it doesn't allus bring happiness. Fame
may bring house pervided wild bur-
glar alarm, but de higher de fame de
higher de gas bills. If great
ness comes foolin' around you, catch
him by de coat tails. If he nebber
comes, be content widout him. A
home-wife an hildren-plenty tG eat,
pew rent paid, and pig in de pen am
good 'nuff for any man, an he who
seeks TO climb higher am just as apt to
bust his suspender buttons as to git
dar. Wild the few relexshuns on de in-
contestancy of earthly greatness. we
will now disband ourselves to business
